6 of the most romantic beaches in the world: Don't waste your vacation days on anything less

Great Rock Bight, Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts: “You’ll have to brave a half-mile trail and steep steps to reach this remote beach in a sheltered bay with views across Vineyard Sound, but you could easily wind up with the place to yourselves,” says Alex Baackes of alexinwanderland.com.

Kealakekua Bay, Big Island, Hawaii: “A two-mile trail through lava fields and dense woodland leads to this popular kayaking and snorkeling spot,” says Jessica Festa of jessieonajourney.com. “With a mountainous backdrop and turquoise water, it’s the perfect place for a romantic picnic.”

Praia do Paraíso, the Algarve, Portugal: “This private cove just around the corner from the main Carvoeiro Beach on Portugal’s spectacular southern coast is often empty,” says Monica Stott of thetravelhack.com. “Perfectly enclosed by tall cliffs, it’s paradise.”

Playa Zipolite, Oaxaca, Mexico: “Just past the Nude Bungalows and Spa—yep, that’s its real name—along the country’s rugged Pacific coast is a beautiful, secluded cove with just enough privacy to give you the courage to shed your swimsuit—it’s allowed!” says Andrew Sim, who blogs with girlfriend Emily Gough at alongdustyroads.com.

Wilderness Beach, Puerto Rico: “After a 20-minute walk along a trail through the jungle, you suddenly come to a rock-shielded beach so magical and windswept it feels like a mermaid could wash ashore at any moment,” says Christina Pérez of insideelsewhere.com.
